Alan Godfrey Maps
Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Doncaster: For the central area of Doncaster we are reprinting some of the very early Five-foot plans. Originally published at a scale of 1:1056 or 5 feet to the mile, we have reduced them in scale to 1:1760 or a Yard to the Mile. The maps, though covering quite a small area, are very detailed, even including the interiors of some public buildings, such as churches. For the urban historian they are perhaps the most fascinating maps ever published by the Ordnance Survey.
